Charity A.

HR Manager

Charity has been working in a Human Resource position for over 20 years, with the last 4 being with Turf Pride Lawncare. She is a natural encourager with a hint of sarcasm always underlying in everything she does. Her goal is to bring out the best in others, and she recognizes that sometimes that involves helping others improve their performance. While she’s not a doctor, she believes that laughter is the best medicine and her witty sarcasm helps lighten up the office.

Charity is also always cold. Even when our summer temperatures reach into the 90’s you can find Charity in her office with her heater on. There’s nothing the technicians love more than coming into the office after being outside in the heat and finding her in the “sauna” temperature her office is kept at. They show their appreciation by leaving small gifts, like bugs in bags on her desk.
